Direct Assistance Program
Direct Assistance Program (DAP)
The CAMPV Direct Assistance Program (DAP) exists to provide limited financial assistance to Veterans-in-need. While we do provide financial assistance when we can, our prime objective is to assist Veterans in formulating a successful life plan to avoid incurring overdue bills in the future.
The following items are required in order to apply for Direct Assistance:
- Copy of DD214 form, NGB22, DD256, VA Medical card, Military ID card or Dependent ID card
- Veterans who received a Dishonorable Discharge, Bad Conduct Discharge, or Entry-level Discharge are ineligible for direct assistance
- Copy of the billing statement of the financial entity in which you are requesting payment
- Copy of your current bank statement showing the past 30 days.

Subjective Review – At a minimum, the following elements will be determined:

- Plight backstory

Financial Aid Dispense – Any approved funds will be paid directly to the creditor(s) requiring disbursement via check(s) or credit card depending on the financial source, never to the Veteran.

- Landlords
